Prepping the railroad for our first public run day recap.
What a day at the railroad! Saturday, March 21st turned into one of those unforgettable “you‑had‑to‑be‑there” kind of days as a great crew of members rolled in to help get everything ready for our first public run day of the 2026 season.
From the moment the sun came up, the place was buzzing. Laughter, tools clinking, locomotives being checked over, and that unmistakable feeling that the season is finally waking up again. Our volunteers jumped right in—tuning equipment, inspecting track, cleaning, tightening, adjusting—doing all the behind‑the‑scenes magic that makes our railroad shine when the public arrives.
And that wasn’t all. A big part of the day’s excitement centered around the clubhouse and workshop building, where the crew tackled the ramp project. Boards were cut, measurements were made (and double‑checked!), and the whole thing started coming together beautifully. It’s amazing what a determined group can accomplish when everyone’s working with purpose and having fun doing it.
If you weren’t there, you truly missed out on a fantastic day of teamwork, progress, and good old‑fashioned railroad camaraderie. The energy was high, the momentum was strong, and the 2026 season is already shaping up to be something special.
A huge thank‑you to everyone who came out and put in the work. We’re rolling full steam ahead—and we can’t wait to share the results with everyone on our first public run day!
